Election 2014: Rick Green associate worked on ‘Unelection campaign’

A business associate and former campaign manager for Township mayoralty contender Rick Green created the website for the Langley “Unelection campaign” that aims to unseat incumbent mayor Jack Froese and other members of council.

Ian Cameron, a long-time friend and business associate of Green, told The Times he accepted the volunteer assignment before Green announced his candidacy.

The Unelection Campaign launched its website in August, with four identified members; Schildhorn, Lee Lockwood, Anna R. (who refuses to give her last name) and Bob Duncan.

Schildhorn was part of a committee that filed and won a lawsuit against Langley Township’s approval of the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley. The decision was overturned, and the building is under construction.

Lockwood, an Aldergrove resident, has been involved in a number rural and transportation issues.

Duncan was part of a campaign against the Athenry Development multifamily residential development near to Willoughby Hall on 208 Street.

“Anna R.” was among the Brookswood and Fernridge residents who fought against a proposed Official Community Plan for the area that would have allowed increased housing density in some areas.

The Unelection Campaign sponsored a well-attended all-candidates meeting on Friday. The Times will publish a report from that meeting in Thursday’s paper.
